Procurement plays a critical role at Centrepoint, supporting services across England and managing relationships with over 1,100 suppliers. As Procurement Officer, you’ll work closely with the Head of Procurement and Procurement Manager to translate Centrepoint’s procurement strategy into practical, value-driven outcomes.
You’ll deliver end-to-end procurement activity across a range of categories, including Direct Marketing, Facilities Management and Services, influencing spend decisions, driving value for money, and ensuring compliance with procurement policy and regulatory requirements.
This is a varied and hands-on role, requiring strong stakeholder engagement, sound commercial judgement and a proactive approach to improving procurement processes and systems. You’ll also play an important part in ensuring procurement activity delivers social value, supporting Centrepoint’s mission to end youth homelessness.

The requirement is a minimum of 50% of your working week in the office.

This will be adjusted accordingly for part-time or compressed hours contracts.
What you’ll be doing
- Delivering end-to-end procurement activity, including market analysis, supplier sourcing, tendering, evaluation, negotiation and contract award
- Acting as a category lead across key areas of spend, working closely with stakeholders to embed procurement early in project planning
- Managing supplier relationships, supporting contract negotiations and leading regular contract reviews to ensure performance against KPIs and SLAs
- Supporting the development and continuous improvement of procurement systems, processes and controls, including supplier onboarding and contract registers

- Analysing spend data, benchmarking costs and identifying opportunities to deliver savings and efficiencies
- Maintaining accurate procurement records, including key contracts registers and supplier databases
- Providing advice, guidance and training to colleagues across the organisation to promote best practice procurement and value for money
About you
You’ll be a capable and motivated procurement professional with experience supporting procurement activity in a complex or multi-stakeholder environment. You’ll be confident managing multiple priorities and engaging effectively with colleagues and suppliers to deliver compliant, value-driven outcomes.
You’ll bring:
- Experience delivering procurement activity, including tendering, supplier evaluation, negotiation and contract award
- Strong numerical and analytical skills, with the ability to interrogate spend data and identify opportunities for savings and efficiencies
- The confidence to influence and advise stakeholders at all levels, embedding procurement best practice across the organisation
- Experience managing supplier relationships and supporting effective contract management
- Strong attention to detail, with the ability to maintain accurate records and documentation
- Good IT skills, including experience using procurement, purchasing or finance systems
You’ll be organised, professional and collaborative in your approach, with a genuine interest in improving procurement processes and outcomes. A commitment to continuous professional development is important, and you’ll be keen to develop your procurement expertise, including working towards or holding a CIPS qualification.
Most importantly, you’ll be aligned with Centrepoint’s values and motivated by the opportunity to use procurement as a tool for social impact, helping us move closer to ending youth homelessness.
Why join Centrepoint?
In return for your efforts, you’ll receive a competitive salary, excellent training and development opportunities, and a comprehensive benefits package including:
- 25 days annual leave per year, rising to 27 with service

Asylum Justice is the only charity in Wales - and one of very few in the UK - providing free legal advice and representation to people seeking asylum, refugees, and other migrants who are excluded from legal aid. Every day, we help people navigate a hostile system, challenge injustice, and secure safety for themselves and their families.
Demand for our services is higher than ever. In the past year alone, our caseload increased by nearly 50%, and we've taken on more complex, urgent cases - including supporting unaccompanied asylum-seeking children and people at immediate risk of destitution or deportation.
We’re now looking for a Funding Officer to join our small, committed team and help secure the resources we need to sustain and grow our work. This is a chance to make a tangible difference - not just in helping us meet income targets, but in strengthening access to justice for some of the most marginalised people in Wales.

This is a hands-on, varied role that combines fundraising, relationship management, and impact storytelling. You’ll work closely with our Legal Director and wider team to:
- Research and identify funding opportunities from trusts, foundations, and statutory sources
- Write compelling funding bids and reports that reflect our impact and values
- Maintain excellent relationships with funders and support project coordination with delivery partners

- Support internal monitoring and evaluation to strengthen our evidence base
- Help develop our approach to individual giving, fundraising events, and donor communications
We’re looking for someone who shares our commitment to justice and anti-racism, and who brings strong communication skills, attention to detail, and a collaborative approach.
Who we’re looking for
We don’t expect you to know everything from day one - we’re open to candidates with transferable skills from across the charity, campaigning, or community sectors. You might have experience as a fundraiser, grant writer, project officer, or in a policy/impact role where writing and relationship-building are key.
What matters most is that you're passionate about what we do, committed to equity and inclusion, and eager to learn and contribute.
What we offer
- A supportive, mission-driven team working in solidarity with people seeking asylum
- Flexibility around working days, location, and hours
